The Pringle Brothers at Pringle Tree
Sketched by Robert B. Smith to look like a woodcut -- based on original woodcut by Diss Debar done in mid 1800s.

In 1768, the immigrant, John JACKSON, with his sons, George and
Edward, crossed the Alleghany Mountains into the unbroken wilderness
of now West Virginia. John made a tomahawk claim for his homestead at
the Pringle Tree, near the mouth of Turkey Run, where it empties into
the Buckhannon River, near present day city of Buckhannon in Upshur
County, West Virginia. His was one of
the first three families to settle in this region.

Info on the Jane Lew
(WV) Jackson line Even though these Jacksons lived in the
same area of Lewis County, WV, they are not related to our John Jackson
line. Many researchers have
confused them with the John Jackson line.
